A GREAT OVERFLOW.

An American traveller, while in Venice, met man dressed in the un- mistakable "toggery" of the Missis- sipi river bottoms.
 "Ah," said the traveller, approach ing the southerner, "I am not ac- quainted with you, but I am glad to see you, for know you are from my country"
 "I am from Mississippi"

A TALE OF TALESMEN.
From n New York Reporters Account al
the CieaPy Trial

From n New York Reporters Account of
the Cieary Trial.
New York World.
Like the cavaliers of old, doffing their
plumes in hostile courtesy on the field
a ToutraRce, before clashing their angry
and thirsting blades, Messrs. Nicoll and
Shafer were respectful, deferential, nay.
almost affectionate towards each other.
Yet Mr.. Nicoll had three hairs rampant
just over the philoprogenital bump,
while MIR. Shafers mustache was abristfe
and his cheeks agIow with the gdudid
certdmiais. and both were palpably
eager for the fray. Mr.. Semple had
donned heavenly scarf with white freck
les for the occasion, and was blithe and
merry outwardly but the workings of the
inner Semple often corrugated his fine
and mansard brow with the criss-cross
of thought and Anxiety. In the late af
ternoon Mr.. MARITIME burst ineffably
upon the scene like Venus rising from
the sea, his cutaway setting to the
Queens taste, his watch-chain falling in
golden loop athward the abundant
curve over canvas-back and chowder,
his mustache dropping tenderly in a
Hogarth curve and Hyacinthine curls
festOoning the Parian pallor of his joy
Gus brow. He wore the smile of the
Grandissemes and also an effulgent
dickey. which terminated in a collar
with Angle Gabriel flaps.
Judge Van Worst sat for a while on
the bench and gravely considered the
ebb and flow of the ceaseless tide of
talesmen. The venerable ex-Recorder
Smith similarly honored the bar, while
for few bright and never-to-be-forgot-
ten minutes Sheriff Grant sat behind the
ascetic Judge with the Arctic eyes. and
smiled upon all but did not chew gum.
Mr.. Hoyt was the most amusing tales
man. Under NJ. Skaters suave handling
he lost what self-possession nature had
appealing to the Judge for permission to
put ON his hat and extinguish himself.
A MIR. John c. Delavergne worked on
the feelings of all hands by see-sawing
with Mr.. Nicoll and trying to dodge say
ing that he had an opinion. He was
finally cornered, however, and as he
sided out shook hands warmly with the
benign MIR. Shafer. This raised question
ing eyebrows all around. and then Mr..
Shafer blandly and naively remarked:
why, I've known him forty years ;"
Mr.. Shafer did his best to trip Mr.. Al
fred Carr. He would take Mr.. Carr
mentally by the hand, climb to the sum-
NIT of some irrelevant hill of discussion,
toboggan furiously down, and just at
the widest and speediest moment insert
a nytro-glycerine question under him
with a view to throwing him sky-high-
But Mr.. Carr was awake-and though
Mr.. Shafer poured gallons of sweet oil
and gallons of sharp vinegar Mr. Carr
refused to turn a contradictory hair. and
so got in.
